I live with two lesbians and while I think they’re both awesome, it’s got nothing to do with them being lesbians. But how about white people? Are white people good or AWESOME?! 😕 ---

Were I a man attempting to cozy up to lesbians so they’d be the stars of my homemade porn show, I bet I’d encounter lesbians who acted like “manhating dykes” towards me all the time. Funny how lesbians don’t like men who only want to use them for their own selfish sexual gratification! Why, they’re almost like straight women in that regard! ---

> [@](#): > > It’s just that most homosexual women… are manhating dykes. Really? That’s not been my experience. Most lesbians I’ve met have been _idiot_ haters, sure, but … Oh. ---

I could start a thread about how much I love fluffy little kittens and sparkly rainbow stickers, and people would start complaining that puppies and fuzzy butterfly stickers are just as good, and why isn’t this thread about _them_? I just wanted to celebrate something that smells good and feels nice. Why does everyone have to be so negative? ---

Are you kidding? I love lesbians! I can sit with a woman and express all the lust and hornyness over women and have her go, “Amen, brother!” How cool is that? One of favorite people ever is a lesbian. She’s just the coolest ever. God how I wish she liked the hot hetero loving. We used to go out girl watching and discuss proper cunnalingus techniques… Wow… good times. Porn star lesbians, oh yes better than watch the Hedgehog bop some girl and watching his scrotum bounce back and force… Oh THATS good for Mr. Happy. ---

Why does everyone have to be so negative? \*\* I suspect some straight people are just really, really pathetic, and can’t stand to think that the rest of us may actually be having fun when they’re not. I’m sure these sad individuals would _love_ it if someone started a thread called “I’m so wretched being a lesbian!” or “I’m only a lesbian because I hate men!” or even “I wish I were straight, so I could have _real_ sex!” Oddly enough, the people I’ve encountered who seem to both hate men the most and have the most unsatisfying sex are not lesbians…they’re straight women. Not _all_ straight women of course, not even a majority of them, but everyone I know who fits that description just happens to be a straight woman. So I suppose it’s no wonder that some heterosexuals feel insecure. In re the original question, I vote that most lesbians are “good”. Only some are “awesome”. I’m afraid the only way for me to determine if any particular lesbians falls into that prestigious category is for her to come over to my place so we could maybe watch a Catherine Deneuve movie or something and then fool around on the futon until I feel I can give a fair evaluation. It might take a while, but I for one am willing to make the effort! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Homebrew \* > \*\*If I turn off the circuit breaker before working on the socket and some jerk turns it back on, though, I’ve got every reason to be pissed at the maladjusted idiot who did it. \*\* Assuredly. And if neither I nor anyone else did a damn thing about the circuit breaker? For information: **Mal** is a straight, white, middle-aged, fat, bearded, English, somewhat myopic, male. And I’ve seen homophobia, but not in this thread. Celebrating lesbianism is fine in my book. (Also for information: “Lesvos” is more or less the modern Greek pronunciation of the island’s name in any case. _beta_ and _delta_ have both softened from their classical form.) It’s just that you should know that, as surely as night follows day, _someone_ is going to chime in with the usual remarks. If you find 'em tasteless and offensive, you know how to avoid 'em: Hold your lesbian circle-jerks in lesbian-only space. Otherwise, develop a thicker skin. > [@](#): > > _SciFiSam:_ > Next up: Why wearing a short skirt does not mean that you were asking to be raped. Way to escalate :rolleyes: ---

**Moderator’s Notes"** Okay. I’ve seen enough. I had misgivings about this thread yesterday. Those have proved well-founded. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lesbians-good-or-awesome/208834.md?page=3)
